I'm a country bumpkin

I went to my parents house last weekend. For those of you that don't know, they live in the country... the real country. I look at things there a little different now. I notice things that are common there that you don't see here in the city.

I woke up one morning to find a whole litter of kittens having breakfast in the backyard.

Bella liked the kittens too.
This will be hamburgers and steak this fall.
One of my goals in going down there was to help my mom pick out a dress for my wedding. The one she picked out was an ivory-gold silk suit with tiny little gold polka dots on it. Thank goodness for Dillards. There aren't too many places to shop where they live.
This is my Daddy's garden. He spends hours everyday working in it. He sent me home lots of fresh tomatoes, onions, garlic, squash, zuccinni, okra, cantalope, and watermelons.


There are frogs. They especially come out in the evening. I noticed these little guys on outside screen of the living room window.

Young and In Love

Sheesh! It seems like I have been busier than ever recently. Today was a really great relaxing day though. Clay and I slept in because we were tired from swimming yesterday. We went to a local flea market to look at puppies. We want another dog, but we haven't seriously looked or even decided what kind we want. There were a couple of cute chihuahuas but none that we fell in love with and had to bring home. We went out to lunch at Poncho's- a Mexican buffet kinda place. Then we walked around Babies R' Us for a couple of hours and fantasized about starting our family. No worries. I'm not pregnant. Just imagining, thats all. This was my favorite crib. It's all metal and looks antiquey.

Ahhhh.... to be young and in love. We are home now, and I plan to spend my evening cleaning house and getting wedding stuff together.

Wedding Bells at The Palace

So today my friend Beth and I went to view the venue where Clay and I are getting married. I hadn't seen it since the owners were in the construction phases and I was pleasently suprised to see that it was beautiful. They call it Metropolitian Chic, I call it antiquey and intimate. I had been worried that the space was too small, but after seeing it today I think it will be great. Our wedding is going to be intimate with only about 100 people.

This is a picture of the dancefloor. I love the lights. that is my favorite part.

This is just another view.

This is the bar. We won't be partying too hard though. We are having an open coffee bar. It was one of our pricier choices, but I think it will be fun for everyone.

Ewww!!!

Today has sucked! I couldn't sleep very well last night. I didn't want to wake up Clay so I watched tv in the living room. We about 5 am I started to feel sick. I woke Clay up and I started puking at about 5:30 am. I didn't want to make Clay stay miss work, so he went ahead and left. And I kept puking all day. Seriously that has been my day. Throw up a little, sleep a little. Anyways Clay and I are snuggled up on the couch now watching a gangster movie. lets hope today is a better day.
